Muhammad Ali - Wake Up And Apologize (1972) 

Fun fact: he was part Irish. That's why he mentions them alot.

Good point. I find myself going back to older footage quite a bit

Very well said this is amazing how we can go back through time through RU-vid

No dude BOOKS are the closest thing to a time machine.

@@leanmeanmenace1744 oh thats true

Yes he was.

Shaynel Ahmed No he’s all my love Eye would fight box u for him to be only my love. It’s true. After listening to him u just have instilled rhythms in u.❤️ him Islam

Shaynel Ahmed love him he is so confident bc he is perfect in wat he did !!!!

@@gonadiator You just can't see his greatest. Very shallow. IMO the bravest man I've seen

Yes Our Elder Muhammad Ali was more than just the Greatest He was Our Legend & Our Hero for Our People it's too bad We don't have Anyone like Him today plus He never sold Our People out like Some that We do know well that shall remain Nameless!

Don't say never. Ali inspired generations to come! There WILL be more.

@@MITTERSTOOPS yeah, from Dave chapelle's acceptance speech at his Mark twain ceremony

Ali RIP is the GOAT , Ali beat every heavyweight in history in his prime , even after prime and with a very sick body he beat legends , Fraizier twice , norton twice , big Forman and so many others , just see the legends he beat , Sonny liston twice , Paterson twice , Foreman , Freizier twice , Norton twice , Shavers , Jimmy Young , Ron Lyle , Jimmy Ellis , Zora Folly , Terrell , Archie More , Chuvalo , Copper twice and ... Ali change boxing for ever and break the sports rulls and split boxing history too before and after Ali , he was lion far far better than legends like Jack Johnson, dempsy , SRR , Joe luise , Paterson , Marsiano , Fraizer , Foreman , Holms , Tyson , SRL , Duran , Roy jones , Lennex , Holyfield , klichcos , .... and todays bum joks AJ , Fury , wilder , he fight and win very of his big fights after his prim robbing by us gov and with a very sick body that show how lionheart he was ,only 3 time lineal heavyweight champion in history , he fight in golden heavyweight era when many of those days boxers are legends of history of sport and easyly beat fighters of other era and Ali rull that time , he is not just best heavyweight of all times but greatest boxer of all times and sport man of last century no one can even close too him , he win trilla in manila , norton 3 , spings the3 lineal championship and... with parkinson. He was champion even out of ring the man with honor who gave up his title and best years of his career for peace,Ali rull the era with gods of HV history and beat all of them at least once even after his prime , legends whome distroy today joks Fury , AJ , Wilder , Ali fight 25 top 100 fighter of all times and beat 24 of them at least once , Fury fight just 2 top 150 , one 38 old (velademir) two who not know how to box (wilder) his other oponents are not in top1000 an these are facts. Even my faverite Mike Tyson fight with some boms and he lost too Buster Duglas a3 level boxer and Holyfield twice and Lennex . No one in history even close too Ali , he will die in the ring but refuse losing like Foreman fight and trilla in manilla that his wife told docters before the fight seeing signs of parkinson. He was lionheart he is THE GOAT.if there was Mount Olympus and all boxing gods of all weights live there , Ali is god of gods he is The Zeus.

How did he ever play like he was uneducated? He was very intelligent. It is putting him down to even say he acted dumb. It is stupid to act dumb. He never did! He spoke eloquently about many things. Very well spoken, well dressed, handsome man. Very intelligent man.

Act stupid, be treated stupid. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. Start having appreciation for yourself. Act your age. Be proud of yourself. More people respect you when you have respect for yourself. But if you try and put people down, you bring yourself down. Treat others the way you want to be treated. Peace.

@@Sam-dd7tn hes said it in multiple interviews "well i dont know what that means, but if it means blah blah blah. It was later in life he started to show his true intellect. Please do your research before you attack me.

No he didnt

@@Sam-dd7tn Ali himself on many occasions commented on how his school ‘education’ went poorly, but by no means does that mean he was stupid, he was most definitely VERY intelligent, it was obvious in the way he spoke, behaved, and fought. But at the same time he himself admitted that when it came to even things like reading, he never had the patience for it, at least in his earlier days. Even his amazing rhymes used a limited vocabulary. Also I think most people who think he wasn’t smart think so because of his slang and the way he speaks, which when contrasted to most other professional entertainers sounds less sophisticated.

You know it

So much truth in what you said.

So true

Absolutely non left, all you get now so youtubers saying what they would do, but never actually do off social media. I say black people then aren't the same as now, our ancestors were better fighters than us now.

Seriously. These niggas today don't stand for nothing

Like Bob Marley..

He was educated = informed. He reads a lot, he is extremely brilliant and an outstanding observant.

He had wisdom, which a lot of 'educated' people don't have.

He was educated. He just didn’t go to school.

Thinking the same brother lol

In many ways, Muhammad Ali was the first “rapper”, as it came from America. People will say that being a MC is more than just making words rhyme over a 4/4 mid tempo beat, & that there’s an attitude behind it. Ali embodied that with his defiance, humor, social awareness, entertaining millions with charisma & braggadocio - loudly rhyming words into a microphone before a crowd. That sounds like a MC to me!!

@@brucescott4261 rap is rhythm and poetry my friend. Rappers are poets with beats... well, that's what they're supposed to be at least. Often they're just marketing reps for name brands disguised as such

Ali was the OG rapper he was spittin rhymes in songs in the late 50’s early 60’s Ali ~ The Original Rapper

Its because he's saying what in his mind, that's how he thinks not a speech.

@19: 27 Ali assumes Irish people are like U.S people and says "i notice how proud you all are, proud of your names". In fact the british invasion and genocide attempts of the Irish people involved banning Irish names. Ali mentions 'O'Connor' , 'Grady' , 'Kennedy' all of which are altered into the english versions. The Gaelic/Irish, original spelling of those names are 'O'Grádaigh' , Ó Conchobhair and 'Ó Ceannéidigh'. Even this comment was removed by someone a week ago when i sent it first. Lets see how long it lasts now.

@@user-yp3oj5se1i why was it removed

@@55320 It shows how Ali was wrong about the name oppression only being against U.S 'black' people. Most comments are talking about how intelligent he was and the channel is called 'reelblack'. I thought they didn't want people to know the truth because it made Ali look less intellignet/less good so that's why they removed my comment. I also mentioned about the British oppression against the Irish still happening as they still occupy the 6 counties and the anti Irish government currently ignoring/oppressing Irish culture while using working class Irish money to bring fake asylum seekers to Ireland and give them houses and other welfare over the indigenous Irish. The Irish prime minister was not elected by the Irish people. They installed a half Indian gay man without asking anyone. His party failed miserably in the last election. I also included a link to the interview of Sean Deegan who was a member of the Refugee Appeals Tribunal. Over six years, he heard 500 cases of asylum of which only two were found to be genuine. You can listen to it online- 'Liveline Wednesday 21 September 2016 rte radio 1'. I also mentioned how the anti Irish government allow the non genuine applicants to actually stay after they've been found out and say they can 'self deport' . That interview was on YT but it was also removed.

X : I went to school with many different nationalities. The Amish say : Be Careful Among The English. The Irish understand & know #racism as well b/c they have fought English Tyranny for centuries.. As have the Scottish (Sean Connery said was a proud Scot) & the Welsh (Richard Burton said to an interviewer he was Welsh never British/English). Ali's confidence comes from self-knowledge & self-belief. He gave up a slave name & embraced his African heritage by being re-named with an African name as a Muslim, not a Christian. Why did he do this? If you know who you are, then where can the shackles of #Racism wear on you? Far too many ppl carry 'mental' shackles around in their brain.. even in 2020 either b/c they do not know who they are (lost heritage) or have conformed to a doctrine (being told who you are from outside of one'self' thus denied FULL EQUALITY) but Ali stood fully in his own truth. A muslim. African. His own name. Free. That's a commonsense few #Americans of ANY COLOR allow themselves out right. Being mindful, aware of #racism is the first step. I thank the Irish, Scottish & Welsh for clarity. The Amish & others too. #Racism is a deadly game of #oppression & #genocide where everything is a lie & nothing is real.. unless you buy into it, then like Bob Dylan sang : "He was only a PAWN in their game" .. To be a pawn you need to be the opposite of who Ali was. The opposite of Sean Connery & Richard Burton & so many others. Most #Caucasians fail to SEE #Racism .. they think it's an oppression & genocide against #Africans but NOT #Caucasians .. Only the #Irish & others know better. It's true Indigenous, African & Indian diasporas, no doubt, have shouldered most of it b/c melanin can never be anglo-coded. So, Fight #Racism wherever it rears itself, for the only thing it has pure is evil. Oh. "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised" .. Support the Protesters. Support Change. The Change will be ONGOING for GENERATIONS so TEACH your children well. Thanks for uploading this video. I miss Ali. He was poetry in motion. 🌐⚖❤️🙏🏾 #Register2Vote #Vote💙💦
